Solution
The fallacy demonstrated here is the Conjunction Fallacy. This fallacy occurs when it is assumed that specific conditions are more probable than a single general one. In this case, it is assumed that Linda being a feminist bank teller (specific condition) is more probable than her just being a bank teller (general condition).
